I have recieved parking tickets from 2020 come to me a couple months ago and this is what I’ve got

I’m afraid I can’t work out how to use the mcol site so will just have to write my own defence and hope for the best

I believe I have now found the post you were talking about and am setting up a mcol account i will continue to update 

Ihatedcbl

I have created my mcol account and submitted my aol as I understand it I now have 33 days to submit my defence?

So you have now completed your AOS  ( not AOL  ) on MCOL,  so the 33 days is the deadline from the claim form issue date,  not from today,  so your defence submission deadline is now 4pm on Monday 22nd September 2025

A heads-up  -  the claim posted from Smart Parking states the breach so the Chan and Akande cases are not relevant.

So is there any others posted on here that could be of use to me?

Use the template defence,  like we have been saying all along,  but you dont use the following parts 

IF THE POC FAIL TO STATE THE BREACH (e.g. Civil Enforcement Ltd, Gladstones & Moorside cases currently all fail to specify an allegation) BRIEFLY REFER TO CEL v CHAN & CPMS v AKANDE. SEE LINK BELOW. This is all you need unless you have something very important to add, such as being a blue badge holder when shopping at a retail park, or were charging an EV (no contractual signs at those bays) or that you were a tenant/owner with rights or an expectation to park at a residential site:


But do use the rest

Every single Smart claim thread! Read any.

Here is the other piece of the letter

You'll never pay because DCB Legal will discontinue before the hearing next year.

There are over a dozen current/new Smart Parking claim threads linked on page 14 of this thread, if you want to read their paragraphs 3 & 4 and fancy bookmarking cases just like yours to see how they progress:

But I am linking that for another pressing reason!

Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.
